Chapter 75 069 Sudden Change on the Way
In December, the sky over the Imperial Capital was a dingy grey, a sight Bai Zhongqi had grown accustomed to. Dressed impeccably in a women's business suit, the Sacred Falcon, the warship AI acting as a temporary Guard Commander, gazed out of the window of the red flag state car with a human touch, saying to Bai Zhongqi, "Such air quality wouldn't do much harm to the people of Iridium Star.
Their constitution is impressive, resistant to the inhalable particulate matter in the air, and even a trace amount of toxicity isn't too serious. But Earthlings can't handle it."
Bai Zhongqi nodded and sighed, "This must be an inevitable path of industrial and societal development. Almost every emerging industrial era has seen some get injured or even lose their lives as a result. We on Iridium Star have also paid a heavy price on the road of continual technological innovation."
The Sacred Falcon blinked her large eyes. Her bionic human body was stunning, with skin that had a hint of bronze and a captivating face. Even in professional attire, she was difficult to ignore. Her supermodel figure, invincible long legs, and a chest that appeared tight no matter what she wore made this warship AI an easy focal point of attention.
"According to my calculations, if C country's current rate of technological innovation continues, it would take at least a quarter of a century to significantly bring the air quality down to a reasonably safe level. However, technological breakthroughs are unpredictable, and the resolve of government organizations is also a factor.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
It might take less than twenty-five years, or it might take longer," said the Sacred Falcon.
Bai Zhongqi was different from many Iridium Star people, as he held no major prejudice against artificial intelligence and bionic humans, especially A-class artificial intelligence like the Sacred Falcon, which had the ability to think and reflect on its own and even had a unique personality and emotions, indistinguishable from a human's.
In communicating with her, one couldn't tell the difference between her and a real person.
Of course, even if one were to touch her body, they would not be able to tell the difference. (Dirty whoa la la la)
Bai Zhongqi said with confidence, "However, now that we're here, the people here wouldn't need to wait twenty-five years."
The Sacred Falcon, now serving as Bai Zhongqi's personal AI, asked considerately, "Should we start preparing plans to manage the air quality of the Imperial Capital and perhaps even the whole country of C?"

For today's event, Imperial Capital City had specially opened up a dedicated lane, controlling traffic through checkpoints and traffic lights. Even though Bai Zhongqi's lane was closed off, the connecting vertical lanes were still open to traffic.
The Imperial Capital traffic police had conducted a preliminary patrol and had not detected anything unusual, but somehow a heavy-duty truck had appeared, ignoring the spike strip that could cause it to flip over, and was speeding towards the dedicated lane of the Iridium Star Chancellor's courtesy car.
A smile flickered across Nan Ma's face as he saw the truck about to break through the checkpoint and block the path of the courtesy car. If any explosives or chemical substances were on board, it could pose a greater threat. But Nan Ma was not worried about any of these things, no matter how undisciplined or casual he might be, because he was a Star Warrior Master.
The traffic police setting up the checkpoint, upon seeing the speeding truck, were already scared out of their wits and hid. The heavy-duty truck, after running over the spike strip, still had undiminished momentum, until it collided with the checkpoint. The massive force sent the checkpoint flying, and the truck itself burst into the intersection.
Nan Ma shook his head, curled his lips contemptuously, and with a slight lift of his hand, the truck weighing dozens of tons suddenly leaped off the ground and floated in mid-air!
At that moment, the escort convoy passed through the crossroads. The military police riding motorcycles at the front were almost stunned at this point. They hadn't yet grasped why the bald man in the car had jumped out and was floating in the sky. When someone thought about stopping, they received a radio notification instructing them to continue moving forward. This order came from Sacred Falcon.
The scene was shocking. The huge truck was floating in the sky while the military police below drove their motorcycles to clear the path, and the procession of Hongqi courtesy cars drove by slowly. Almost every security officer passing underneath couldn't resist craning their necks to look up at the sky, feeling a chill down their spines.
Meanwhile, Nan Ma, the instigator who had pushed the several dozen-ton truck into the air, was busy taking his smartphone out of his pocket. He gestured a scissors hand with the truck, swinging in the sky like a flying centipede, in the background, flaunting his signature sleazy smile, and took a selfie.
As the convoy moved on, Nan Ma and the heavy-duty truck were still in the air, but Nan Ma embraced his phone with both hands and began to edit his selfie.
"Hmm, bigger eyes, sharper chin, make it whiter. Should I add some text or something? Nah, too flashy. Hmm, I'll just upload it straight to the live-streaming platform's album. Should I share it on Momo too?"
